Porto Alegre Skyline
Excellent views of the Guaíba Lake and the downtown area during the initial climb out of POA.
Gran Chaco
Bird's eye view of the unique scrub forests and wetlands spanning the border regions of Paraguay and Argentina.
High Andean Volcanoes
Spectacular views of snow-capped volcanic peaks as the flight passes over the southern Peruvian Andes.
Lima Cityscape
A breathtaking view of one of South America's largest cities, including the historic center and the coastal districts.
San Lorenzo Island
Views of the largest island in Peru located just off the coast of Callao during the final descent.
The right side is generally the winner for this route. To see the Andes in their full glory, try to book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. During the descent into LIM, the right side usually faces the city, offering a sense of the immense scale of the Peruvian capital.

Southern Pampas
Expansive views of the agricultural heartlands of Southern Brazil and Northern Argentina shortly after departure.
Altiplano Edge
The dramatic transition where the flat plains suddenly meet the towering vertical walls of the Andean cordillera.
Ica Desert Dunes
Massive, wind-sculpted sand dunes near the Peruvian coast, showing the extreme aridity of the region.
Pacific Shoreline
The stark contrast of the deep blue Pacific Ocean crashing against the brown desert cliffs of the Paracas region.
Choose the left side if you enjoy desert landscapes and the sight of the ocean horizon. For afternoon flights, this side will be away from the direct sun during the Andean crossing, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
